Any thoughts on some good smallie techniques or locations for the first week of December? We may try and go down to fish, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. We will be on the south half of the lake. Thanks.

We caught 9 fishing with live bait on Friday.

9 was a great day on Friday, I fished points all day Friday and only had one. Fished Hendricks Creek arean with wild shinners.
How deep were you fishing? Any tips to get my numbers up?

Thanks

30 to 40 feet deep. Slow Trolling. See my article on the Front Page about Slow Trolling a slip bobber and shiners.

We were fishing on the bottom with shiners. Pull up on the bank and tie off and we put out six rods and wait. Leave the bail open and they will take off with it and then you lock down and set the hook and then the fight is on. I would rather catch them on artificial but I will live bait fish to get them. Make sure you have a net. It makes it a lot easier to get them in. Hope this helps. Learned this technique by going out with Greg Cary from Ky Trophy Fishing. He does a great job. We were fishing the Hendricks Creek area also. You might have seen us tied up on the bank. Bryan
